A bunch of famous designers were asked to create crazy golf courses — here's what they came up with

Come September, London may have a 10-lane rainbow golf course running down the steps of its National Gallery.

The course, created by fashion designer Paul Smith, is just one of eight golf courses designed by some of the world's most legendary designers. They're hoping to take over Trafalgar Square as part of this year's London Design Festival, which celebrates the country's creative community.

The festival's team is now launching a Kickstarter to make the courses a reality for the weeklong celebration, which starts September 17. As of writing, the team has raised nearly $24,000 of its $172,800 goal with a month to go.

"Above all, we hope to show that design and architecture can be serious fun, and to inspire a new generation of creatives," Christopher Turner, deputy director of the London Design Festival,tells Tech Insider.
